    It won't be much longer. The system is getting lighter. Anthony and Mayer are already up. All the other prospects aren't on that level. 🤗

    Fitts hasn't really had swing and miss stuff since coming to BOS. Last year after being called up, his K-BB was 2.4%, but a lot of people drooled over his 1.74 ERA. He pitched 5 innings last time out, but gave up 2 bombs. We'll see how he looks this go around.

    I generally agree. I think they should keep working on it and improving, but it shouldn't have to be a "back to basics" approach that some of these guys need. It's embarrassing. I know that working in the cage is the most fun thing they can do, but being out on the field is just as important.

    Part of it is on him. Part of it is on roster construction. Part of it is on how the organization is developing these guys. C - Narvaez (NYY developed, great fielder), Wong (LAD/BOS developed, bad fielder) 1B - Casas (BOS developed, terrible fielder) 2B - Campbell (BOS developed, terrible fielder), Hamilton (MIL/BOS, ok fielder) SS - Story (COL developed, good fielder) 3B - Devers (BOS developed, terrible fielder), Bregman (HOU developed, great fielder), Mayer (BOS developed, good fielder) RF - Abreu (HOU/BOS developed, good fielder) CF - Rafaela (BOS developed, great fielder) LF - Duran (BOS developed, high variance fielder), Anthony (BOS developed, passable fielder) Journeyman players with journeyman fielding abilities: Romy, Eaton, Toro, Refsnyder

    That's what happens with .500 type teams, you'll get good stretches where everyone is excited matched with bad stretches where everyone wants to dump all over the team.

    What's the definition of "impact player?" What's the expectation when you trade a prospect? I don't think every prospect is expected to be an "impact player." I think sometimes you trade for bench guys and relievers. Sometimes you trade for prospects that aren't going to appear for a few years. We all know that prospects carry a certain amount of risk anyway. My guess is a lot of the 600 prospects weren't expected to be "impact players" just the guys in the top 100, right?

    We've seen the pitching be streaky before. We've seen the offense be streaky before. They are in a bit of a funk. The one think that isn't streaky is the defense. That's just always terrible.

    2.9 runs/game since 6/10. The offense has been swooning for a little while now. The five games before that they averaged 9.2 runs. Roman Anthony hasn't broken out yet. Duran has been back to '23 Duran with bad defense. Story has a moment here or there, but isn't consistent enough to be a fulltime guy going forward because of his swing and miss. Whenever Wong plays, it's like a pitcher batting.

    I want him at SS.
  10. mvp 78
    Per Middlebrooks: "if the infielder is going back, you’re always listening for the outfielder to takeover verbally… I don’t think that happened." It's on the OFer to call the 3b off then. Duran just stinks out there and doesn't know what he's doing. Your 2025 Red Sox DH, ladies and germs.

    Breslow is just hoarding pitching talent the way Bloom was hoarding hitting talent. It's why the pendulum is swinging the other way and the hitting is starting to look lighter. Breslow Pitchers: Sandlin, Tolle, Clarke, Cason, Holobetz, Aita Breslow Hitters: Tibbs, Yophery Traded Montgomery OF, Meidroth IF, Teel C, Gonzelez P for Crochet P Only drafted 6 hitters last season and the only decent one left in the system is Zach Ehrhard POR 721 OPS.

    Which division are the Sox in exactly?
  13. mvp 78
    Eaton had it in his glove and is the better defender tho?
  14. mvp 78
    Not this year apparently!
  15. mvp 78
    Some of the best players were taller 1b/3b that also pitched. I'd say it was closer to 50%. It depends on what your definition of "best" is. Your best defender would be at shortstop.
  16. mvp 78
    Bring Castig back.
  17. mvp 78
    OMG Will was losing his mind about Duran being safe.
  18. mvp 78
    Small k zone too.
  19. mvp 78
    I think it was a bad call, but not to the point where Will should be talking about it innings later. 😎
  20. mvp 78
    “How are you feeling about the bullpen today?”
  21. mvp 78
    How about a 2b?
  22. mvp 78
    A few weeks ago. My daughter plays softball.
  23. mvp 78
    Will is still whining about the Toro call on the radio.
  24. mvp 78
    Squeeze play. Last time Sox did that?
  25. mvp 78
    Good job Romy
